This subcommand enables you to change the configuration of a deployed application
without the need to modify the application's deployment descriptors and repackage and redeploy
the application.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

--help

-?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--name

The name of the servlet context-initialization parameter that is to be set.

--value

The value to which the servlet context-initialization parameter is to be set.

Either the --value option or the --ignoredescriptoritem option must be set.

--ignoredescriptoritem

Specifies whether the servlet context-initialization parameter is ignored if it is set in the application's deployment descriptor. When a parameter is ignored, the application behaves as if the parameter had never been set in the application's deployment descriptor. The behavior of an application in this situation depends on the application.

The possible values are as follows:

false

The value is not ignored (default).

true

The value is ignored.

Either the --value option or the --ignoredescriptoritem option must be set.

Note - Do not use the --ignoredescriptoritem option to unset a servlet context-initialization parameter that has previously been set by using the set-web-context-param subcommand. Instead, use the unset-web-context-param(1) subcommand for this purpose.

--description

An optional textual description of the context parameter that is being set.

Operands

application-name

The name of the application. This name can be obtained from the Administration Console or by using the list-applications(1) subcommand.

The application must already be deployed. Otherwise, an error occurs.

module

The relative path to the module within the application's enterprise archive (EAR) file. The path to the module is specified in the module element of the application's application.xml file.

module is required only if the servlet context-initialization parameter applies to a web module of a Java EE application. If specified, module must follow application-name, separated by a slash (/).

For example, the application.xml file for the myApp application might specify the following web module:

<module>
<web>
<web-uri>myWebModule.war</web-uri>
</web>
</module>

The module would be specified as the operand of this command as myApp/myWebModule.war.

Examples

This example sets the servlet context-initialization parameter javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD of the web application
basic-ezcomp to client. The description The location where the application's state is preserved is provided for this parameter.
